"Sales of telepresence and videoconferencing equipment surged in the past two years, with growth accelerating in 2011 as video took off on enterprise IP PBX systems. The video conferencing market is being fueled by a confluence of factors, including the proliferation of video-capable equipment, demographic and communication trends that favor video, industry use cases like tele-learning and tele-medicine, and most importantly, customer demand," says Matthias Machowinski, directing analyst for enterprise networks and video at Infonetics Research.

VIDEOCONFERENCING MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

The global enterprise video conferencing and telepresence market jumped 15% to $882 million between the third and fourth quarters of 2011, setting a record high for quarterly revenue

For the full year 2011, sales of videoconferencing and telepresence equipment are up 34% to $2.99 billion

Infonetics expects a cumulative $22 billion to be spent by enterprises on videoconferencing and telepresence hardware and software from 2012 to 2016

PBX-based systems had the strongest performance for the year, growing 80% as they offer a cost-effective way to enjoy multi-modal communication using existing infrastructure

Dedicated multi-purpose room video systems made up over half the enterprise videoconferencing equipment market in 2011 and will continue to be the biggest revenue-generator among enterprise video solutions

Sales of videoconferencing infrastructure and endpoints are strong in all major world regions, but the standout region is the Caribbean and Latin America (CALA), which saw sales nearly double in 2011

Infonetics continues to expand rapidly and is looking to hire more analysts. See http://bit.ly/jmXOYO for current job openings, which include a senior Video analyst and market analysts with enterprise VoIP expertise.
